Children on the autism spectrum often face challenges in academic environments, with struggles varying widely. Common difficulties include uneven cognitive abilities, challenges with memory — particularly with multi-step instructions — and difficulties with emotional regulation during unexpected changes and stressful situations.
Schools are increasingly recognizing the unique needs of students with special educational needs (SEN) and making accommodations to support their academic and social success. Psychoeducational assessments are crucial as they provide valuable information that identifies a student’s strengths and weaknesses.
